I'm tired of all the people who say their favs are Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho and Rumiko Takahashi's Inuyasha. These shows are distinctively sorry excuses for anime. The makers of these anime are just in it for the money. You can see this through the overly excessive episode list. People go straight to Adult Swim and see that an anime is playing and deem it an astounding anime. If you truly want to be an anime fan, then go out and find good anime for yourself. Don't have other people do it for you.
Welcome to the boards. I see we're gonna get alone just great.
Just because something is shown on tv doesn't mean its crap. Shows are usually on tv because theyre awesome. You telling me neon genesis evangelion sucks? Samurai Champloo? These shows all existed before adult swim, and adult swim picked them up because most of them are badass. Hakusho on tv kinda sucks though... they edit out half of what makes the show so funny. Always hated that show until I decided to pick up the hk sets.
